Binary package hint: tracker

These plenty and more of bugs in tracker-indexer are not just annoying, they are a security problem. Just by *having* a file in the home directory even without doing anything with the file an ubuntu desktop is highly vulnerable.

tracker-indexer is obviously of poor software quality....

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.
